JERICHO
Biblical battles have a way
of cropping up currently. We’-
ve a late report from Jericho
in Jordan which says that a
team of American and British
archeologists have discovered
the wall. They believe it is
8000 years old. This makes
Jericho the oldest walled city
discovered to date.
You remember what the
Bible recounts. How Joshua
attacked Jericho during the
Israelite invasion of Canaan,
1400 B.C. Biblically Joshua’s
army marched around the 23
walled city once each day for
six days. On the seventh and
last day the tactics were | man.
changed. This time Joshua’s
forces marched around Jeri-
cho’s walls for seven times. On
the last go round, at an ap-
pointed time the trumpets
blew, Joshua’s army shouted
(and invaded) and the wal^s
came tumbling down.”
Now the archeologists tell
us that they have information
that 22 walls of Jericho fell
long before Joshua’s invasion.
Walls, Bamboo Curtains,
Iron Curtains all fall with
the march of time in man’s
constant struggle for brother-
hood and peace. If they don’t
fall through military means,
they fall through the inter-
course of trade.
Perhaps it would be exped-
ient to examine the armed
wall the Arabs have construct-
ed around Israel. To support
this claim 6 Prostestant Cler-
gymen from Long Island, N.Y.
sent a statement to President
Eisenhower and Secretary of
State Dulles charging that the
“Arab states have perpetuated
the state of war with Israel,
agreeing neither to meet with
her (Israel’s) representative’s
nor to cooperate in the solu-
tion of the problems.” Last
week the State Department ap-
pointed Harold B. Hoskins,
Arab supporter, as director of
the U. S. Foreign Service In-
stitute. Hoskins, president of
the board of the American
University in Beirut, Lebanon,
is known for his feeling about
Israel. Pro-arab, he was a
member of the executive com-
mittee of the “Holyland Emer-
gency Liasion Program,” which
touted Arab causes via propa-
ganda. It lost support, accord-
ing to a report, when Govern-
or Christian Herter, of Massa-
chusetts said the organization’s
political objectives were con-
trary to the welfare of Israel.
Speaking of the welfare of
Israel, and of Jews in General,
we’d like to remind you that
Dallas will be scene of the
American Council for Jud-
aism’s convention starting to-
day. We understand a new
president will be elected. It
will be interesting to note if
there will be any new ideas
forthcoming which will truly
be in the interests of Jewry
in America and elsewhere.
A sober reminder comes from

Dallas Campaign Hits UN Consideration
Fort Worth Women’s Campaign
Starts With March 22Luncheon
In a statement to the Texas UJA Women’s Study Mission
Over $465,000
Jewish Welfare Federation of
Dallas held a report meeting
at the Baker Hotel, English
Room, Friday March 11. Leslie
L. Jacobs, Campaign Chair-
man, anounced the following
totals: Advance Gifts, $342,-
431; Trades and Professions,
$35,657. In the Women’s Div-
ision, the Advance Gifts sec-
tion raised $51,595; Special
Gifts, $25,793; General Gifts,
$7,216; Residential Gifts,' $2,-
579, for a total in Women’s
Division of $87,183. The total
report for the Campaign thus
far, toward a Campaign goal
of $690,000, is $465,271.
A “Cleanup or Conscience
Day” was set for Sunday,
March 13, on which day, work-
ers came to the Melrose
Hotel, headquarters to bring
in reports and to work all
cards from which pledges had
not been received.
Guest speaker at the report
meeting was Dr. Raanan Wirtz
key figure in Israel’s drive for
agricultural production and
director of the agricultural
settlement department of the
Jewish Agency. Dr. Wirtz,
probably more than any man
in Israel, is responsible for the
transformation of once barren
areas in Israel into a land rich
with crops, such as wheat, bar-
ley, cotton, peanuts and flax.
Dr. Wirtz discussed the agri-
cultural developments in Is-
rael, pointing out that Israel
was now producing sufficient
food to feed its own people,
and that it would only be a
matter of a short time until
Israel was completely self-suf-
ficient.

Of Arab-Israel
Issue Urged
LONDON (WNS) Hope
that the United Nations Se-
curity Council in dealing with
the Gaza incident, will con-
sider not only the immediate
issue but also the wider as-
pects of the Arab-Israel situat-
ion was expressed here this
week by British Foreign Sec-
retary Sir Anthony Eden in
Parliament.
Sir Anthony, who recently
visited the Middle East, re-
ported that he found in those
countries a general acceptance
of the need to organize a safe
defense to protect the area
from aggression from without.
He also stated that it is rec-
ognized there “that the securi-
ty and prosperity of the area
cannot fully be realized as
long as the present disruptive
relations persist between the
Arab states and Israel, which
have now unhappily been ag-
gravated by further recent in-
cidents.”
In reply to a question by
Herbert Morrison, 'Deputy
Leader of the Oposition as to
whether anything had been
done or can be done to end the
state of war persisting between
the Arabs ad Israel “at the be-
hest of the Arab states,” the
Foreign Secretary said:
“I think the House knows
that we have been making ef-
forts to try to improve the sit-
uation there, and that there
has in fact been a certain im-
provement over the last month
which was acknowledged by
both sides, when this unhap-
py Gaza incident occured. I
am afraid that this incident
will have aroused passions a-
gain and will set back the
work we want to do. I can see
nothing which can be achieved
in that sphere now except that
it should be handled by the
United Nations Security Coun-
cil.”
